In a typical GUI, values take one of four generic indicators. Which of the indicators below would best be used with analog values that require a significant degree of accuracy?
DCS commonly is considered a computerised control system for a plant that has central operator supervisory control. Which of the terms below is best described as controllers and operator stations that are separated physically from the central control system?
